THE PRESBYTERY OF HURON The Presbytery of Huron held it regular December meeting in the Presbyterian Church, Clinton, on Tuesday, the 13th inst. The Moder ator, Rev. R. C. McDermid, of Gode- rich, presided. The Rev. T. W. Good- will, B.A., formerly of Cobourg, who was recently inducted into the pastor- al charge of Blyth and Auburn, was introduced to the court by the interim moderator, Rev. Alfred Macfarlane, of Clinton. Mr. Goodwill begins his ministry in his new charge with a people who have won from Presby- tery the finest expressions of praise for their courage, loyalty and liberal- ity. The report on Overtures was intro- duced by Rev. A. Macfarlane. An Overture to restore the status of min- isters on the General Assembly Board of Administration to accord with the long constituted usage of the Church, of equal numbers of clergy and laity, was approved. An Overture that the General Assembly meet biennially in- stead of annually, and that the pow- ers of Synods be enlarged, was dis- approved. An Overture that the word "sincerely" be included as qualifying the word "believe" in the formula to be signed at the ordination, or induc- tion, or reception of a minister, was approved. The report of the Treasurer was presented by Mr. F. G. Weir, of Gode- rich, and the Auditors' report by Mr. Henry Strang, of Exeter. The books showed a balance over the expendi- tures of the year of $36.37.

The Presbytery adjourned to meet tin Clinton on the third Tuesday of "February, at 10.30 a.m. Rev. R. C.

In adopting the re- port the members of Presbytery ex- pressed their praise of Knox Church, Goderich, and its esteemed minister, for having attained an honorable posi- tion among even the largest congre- gations of the church in budget con- tributions.

A TRIP ABROAD (By Miss Matilda Fowler) Brussels, August 11th.—The hand- some capital of Belgium which has been called "Paris in Miniature," is one of the most pleasing cities of Europe. It has a population of near- ly a million, and is famous for its imposing boulevards. magnificent squares, spacious parks and for its fine buildings, both mediaeval and modern. In the morning I joined one of Cook's parties for a tour of the city, and we motored through the greater part of it, stopping to visit the most important buildings. The quaint old Grand Place is one of the finest and most interesting of all the public squares of Europe, both on ac- count of the beauty of the buildings which surrounded it and from the in- teresting historical events which have taken place there, every house around it having a history of its own. It was the scene of knightly tourna- ments, the strife of factions, actual warfare, royal pageantry, great pro- cessions, deeds of heroes and the crimes of tyrants. The noble Hotel de Ville (City Hall), which occupies nearly the whole of one side, is said to be the finest city hall in Europe. The elegant tower 370 feet high is surmounted by a gilded statue of St. Michael. Passing through an arch- way into an inner courtyard we saw marked on the pavement the date of the beginning of the building, 1402. Among other rooms, we passed through the Marriage Hall, where all marriages of rich and poor alike, have to be performed by the Mayor. In Belgium, the husband as well as the wife, wears a wedding ring. (One of our guides wore one and when we joked him about it, said that he was not married, but only wore it to keep the "flies" off.) In the Gothic Hal!, the great banquet hall, was held the famous ball given by the Duchess of Richmond on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo. In this hall also, Coun:. Egmont and his brother-in-law, Count de Hornes, were condemned to death by the Spanish. Our guide was great- ly interested when I mentioned that Count Egmont was an ancestor of mine and that many of the descend- ants of the family, still bearing the name of Egmont or VanEgmond, were now in Canada. Leaving the remainder of the party at the City Hall, he took me to the place in the centre of the Square where the Counts were beheaded, and pointed out the rooms in the Palace (Maison du Roi), at the opposite side of the Square facing the City Hall, where they were imprisoned for a time, and where they spent the night before their execution. County Eg- mont, g- mont, Prince of Gavere, was an ancient Flemish prince, who was brought up a page at the court of Emperor Charles V., where he was an intimate friend of his son afterwards, Philip, King of Spain. He was sent to England to arrange the marriage of Queen Mary and King Philip, and attended the wedding at Winchester. He was made governor of a large psrt of Flanders (then under Spanish control), in recognition of his services in the war against France, where he commanded the armies of Spain and Flanders. Later, through the jeal- ousy of the Spanish governor, the Duke of Alva, he was accused of heading a revolutionary party against the tyranny of Spain, was arrested and executed in 1568. His body was taken to the Cathedral of St. Gudule to lie in state, was later embalmed and turned 'over to his friends, who buried him in his native town, Sate - gem, not far from the battlefields of Ypres. Around the Grand Palace are magnificent 17th century houses, which were the headquarters of the various trade Guilds. We continued our drive to the Pal- ace of .Tustice, a stupendous modern building, which was the greatest architectural achievement of the 19th et ntnry. It cost $10,000,000, and took seventeen yearn to erect. It is built on wry high ground, and from it there is a Ane view of the city and (ir tJ The lilt width. rhp hm and THRILL or it! — Dear loving word that was made to impart Friends, map you all have pour FILL of it— Feeling the throb of it deep in pour HEART ! CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO EVERYONE N. CLLFF &SONS the valley of the river Seine. The building covers over 7% acres; the dome is about 400 feet high, and the interior includes 27 large court rooms, 8 open courts and 245 other apart- ments. The principal entrance door, of bronze weighs 12 tans.'' ' -Mneh of the metal from different parts of the building was taken away by the Ger- mans, and in the ceiling of the entrance are many bullet holes, where they were trying to shoot some of the pigeons flying about there. In this building is the largest waiting room in the world, being 295 feet long and 131 feet wide. One of the magnifi- cent staircases leading from it to the outside has 171 steps. We visited the beautiful Square which contains a fine monument to Counts Egmont and de Hornes. On the top are large bronze statues of the two men, standing arm in arm. In front of it are beautiful beds of flowers, and at the back, shrubs and trees. Around it forming a semi -cir- cle, are ten statues representing great contemporaries of the two Counts, and surrounding the whole Square is a handsome iron fence with 48 pil- lars, each supporting a bronze statue representing the ancient guilds. Be- hind the Square stands the Palace of Egmont, now belonging to the city. We next visited the Royal Museum of Paintings, containing a fine collee- t'on of the Flemish masters. Soon after we passed the Royal Palace, with its fine gardens and guards dressed in khaki, visited the Wiertz Museum, a gallery of very weird pic- tures, passed through a fine park of 75 acres, then through the Monument Arcade, where there is a great arch huilt in 1907. Our guide told us that the Germans were "doing the goose- step" as they entered the city through this, but did not do it so well as they were passing out. Passing the Parliament and Senate Houses, Cathedral of St. Gudule (the finest church in Brsssels), and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we visited the Royal Lace Factory and �vei-e shown through the work rooms and show rooms, where there were beau- tiful lace articles of all kinds. Much of the thread was No. 400. Belgium ,r , r tr ii z�7t t' has the largest lace factories tn Eur- ope. Not far away we passed a large building half finished, which the Ger- mans were erecting, being so sure of keeping the city. We next visited the Military Shooting Gallery, where Edith Cavell, a Belgian nurse; Gab- rielle Petit, and several other Belg- ians, were shot by the Germans in 1915. We stood on the balcony where the German soldiers lined up while the prisoners stood a little distance out in the yard. A stone slab en- graved with the names of the victims stands on the spot, and on the grass DANCE will be held in WALKER'S HALL BRUCEFIELD —on— THURSDAY, DEC. 29 Boyce and Hayter Orchestra ADMISSION, 75c.

She gave me a postcard view of the town and offered to send me more when she went home. (About two weeks ago I received a very nice letter from her and a collection of views of the town) The following day i intend- , epi to leave in the morning for Hol- land, but was advised at my hotel and by several people in Brussels, to visit Sot tegem, which was only 25 miles :ttiJ sty 4 .

When I reached there I made it known to the stationmaster and he sent a young lady, as a guide, with me and gave her all instructions. We went to the town square, where there is a large monument to Count Egmont, with his statue on top, foun- tains around, and decorated with wreaths. We visited the ancient Castle of Egmont, surrounded by a park and several shops. 1 was told in Brussels that very few were al- lowed into the church where he was buried, but that if I made known why I came they would likely give me per- mission. She took me to the office of the chief official of the town, who was very much pleased, and getting his key and candles, took the to the church. We entered the vault under the church by a door leading in from one side, and down a stone stairway. A large group gathered around the door, but he allowed nobody else to enter. On one side of the vault lay the coffin, of heavy glass with wooden bars. He wiped off the glass and there lay the remains of Count Eg- mont, buried 359 years ago. In a similar coffin on the other side were the remains of his wife, who was Princess Sabina of Bavaria, sister of Frederic V, Elector Palatine. En- graved on the wall was an outline of his life, which I copied in my note- book, the official holding a candle for me. In one shop I was shown a painted portrait of Count Egmont and his wife, but it was not for sale. Re- turning to Brussels, I left in the af- ternoon for Amsterdam.
